Creamy Chicken Breast

: food, August 27 2022 ▶

This one turned out great so I highly recommend it.
What you need for 2 people:
- 500g chicken breast - no skin, no bones
- 1 big onion
- 7-8 garlic cloves (wow!)
- flour to cover the chicken
- 300g chicken broth
- 200g cooking cream
- 30-40g butter
- 2 ts of sunflower oil
- salt, pepper
- pinch of saffron and coriander
- (blue) poppy seeds

Cooking it:
- pound the chicken breast to flatten them a bit, try to make it evenly thin
- salt and pepper them both sides
- chop the onion and the garlic
- put the sunflower oil in a large pan on medium heat
- add the butter and melt it, do not burn it
- cover the chicken with thin layer of flower. Do not overdo it - just as much as it sticks. Tap it a bit to remove the excess flour.
- cook it in the oils until golden-to-dark brown (up to you) and remove it
- cook the chopped onion until light-brown
- add the garlic for just a minute or two (until soft), do not burn it - it will make the whole thing bitter
- add the chicken broth
- add the cream, the poppy seeds and the other spices
- when the pan starts simmering, return the chicken fillets and cook them for ~5 minutes, turning them 1-2 times
- you will need some nice bread and dry white wine to it
